We are closely engaging with the UN’s Humanitarian Co-ordinator and organisations delivering humanitarian assistance to establish the severity of the operating conditions they are facing.</p><p> </p><p>The UK continues to call on all parties to the conflict to comply with UN Security Resolution 2451 to facilitate safe, rapid, and unhindered access for humanitarian actors. We are clear that there can be no military solution to this conflict. A political settlement is the only way to provide long term stability to Yemen and address the worsening humanitarian crisis. We encourage further constructive engagement from both parties to achieve this.</p> more like this

star this property answer text <p>All schools and colleges must provide careers information, advice and guidance for all 12 to 18 year olds. The Careers Strategy published in December 2017 identified the Gatsby Benchmarks as the gold standard for careers in England. The benchmarks help schools to develop a programme of high quality careers advice and all schools are expected to meet the 8 benchmarks by the end of 2020. To support schools in implementing the benchmarks, we are setting up 40 Careers Hubs and providing 1300 training bursaries to train Careers Leaders in schools.</p><p> </p><p>Under the Baker Clause, all secondary schools must invite providers of technical education and apprenticeships to talk to pupils and give all pupils a full picture of their options. Schools must also publish a policy statement setting out these opportunities and must make sure that this statement is followed.</p><p> </p><p>In addition to the universal services mentioned above, local authorities are required to appoint a Personal Adviser to help care leavers to make the transition from care to independence, which includes helping them to engage in education, employment or training. We have recently introduced a new duty on local authorities that extends the support from a Personal Adviser to all care leavers until the age of 25 from the previous age threshold of 21.</p>
